Why Do History Books Have to Be So Boring?

Why do history books have to be so boring?

If you think so, you need to order "Why is a Spy called a Mole?" on Amazon.
Lorraine Strieby stayed up nights to wade through history books so you could
learn the true story of the Revolutionary War and his sidekick and possible
relative Mr. Billy Lee and really enjoy learning about the War without
boring (ho hum) history books.

For starters, do you like horses and dogs?  Guess what, Washington's horse,
Nelson, was possibly the most famous horse ever--even more famous
than Secretariat.  Why did a dog named Madame Moose go with Commander
Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Mr. Lee throughout the War?  You have
seen Washington on a white horse, Blue.  This horse was not the famous horse.

Who was the best horsemen in the Colonies?  It wasn't Alexander Hamilton?

Have you ever heard of the Monongahela  River in Morgan Town--now Morgantown?
I bet you haven't, even if it should be up there with the Ohio and Colorado Rivers.

For some reason, West Virginia keeps their fame in its vest pocket.

Have you ever heard of Colonel Zackquill Morgan who served under
Commander General Washington?  Probably not.

Who always was there to protect Washington?  Who did his finances and
knew more about horses and dogs than anyone in the colonies?

I hear Lorraine coming.  Got to go  mmm Mayor Molly McMole

MR. BILLY LEE, COMMANDER GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FAVORITE SIDEKICK IN REVOLUTION



MR. BILLY LEE, copyright Lorraine Strieby
Mr. Billy Lee

We all remember our favorite teachers.  Did they teach you about Commander General
George Washington's favorite sidekick in the Revolution.  This man was so famous that
after this war the citizens came to Mount Vernon to see this man, just like they wanted
to see George Washington.

Joseph J. Ellis received the Pulitzer Prize for writing THE  BALLAD OF BILLY LEE.

All of us should know him and he is featured in Lorraine Strieby's new hard cover
book on Amazon.  The artists of the day painted him in the background when they
painted Commander General Washington.  They also painted him on a horse, Blue,
that was NOT the famous war horse, Nelson.  So loved,  Washington had  his paddock
near his living quarters at Mount Vernon.

If you want you and your children to know why he should be as famous as Alexander
Hamilton, you need to read "Why is a Spy Called a Mole" by Lorraine Strieby,
hard cover or ebook on Amazon/Kindle.

Ron Chernow Inspires Lorraine Strieby's New Book about George Washington

Did you know that the white horse that painters of the day painted was NOT his horse of choice but his most famous horse was named--Nelson.

Most of us had a favorite teacher and we can bring up his/her name just like that.  For
me it was Mrs. Morgan, First Ward Elementary, Morgantown, West Virginia. I truly
loved her.  She taught a lot but not why Commander Washington deserved to
be President of the United States. Yes, Thelma Morgan was a fabulous teacher.

Thank you, Ron Chernow.  Even when I was an adult I didn't know his bravery
and courage and there were some people and animals that should have
recognition.  A certain publisher said that this book, Why is a Spy Called a Mole, was a children's book (40 illustrations).  Amazon put it in the category 3 to 18. Gramps
and Grandma will enjoy and learn at 81 years old.   

You are in for an adventure and learn about 4 characters--one probable should
be as famous as Lieutenant Alexander Hamilton and a horse more famous
than Secretariat.

Now if your favorite teacher taught this to you, you were lucky.  If not
you need to buy this hard copy on Amazon.  Brad Hirou and Gloria Morrison
are interested in making a movie, TV series of this book series, Adventures of
Mayor Moly McMole.

MR BILLY LEE More Famous Than Alexander Hamilton? Nelson More Famous Than Secretariat?

PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS ONLY

It is funny and strange how history is rewritten or facts are omitted because of the
politics of the day.

Do you think your children and grandchildren are getting a good knowledge of our
country's beginning.  Well, think again,  Here are some questions to ask the
little ones or your high school children or college students.  Do you know the
answers?

1)  What happened to Benedict Arnold?
2)  Why was Mr. Billy Lee more important to Commander Washington than
      Alexander Hamilton?
3)   Who was Mr. Billy Lee?
4)   Who was Nelson?
5)    Why was Mount Vernon' s roof famous?
6)    Who was Madame Moose?
7)     What was her job?
8)     Did Washington get shot or Nelson?
9)     How long did the Revolution last?
10)   Who was John Andre?
11)   What was the Vulture
12)   How many ships did Benjamin Franklin get from France?
You can buy Why Is a Spy Called a Mole hard copy from Amazon, written by
my creator on Amazon, Author and Illustrator Lorraine Strieby (40 illustrations)

Have a wonderful day and look up this book.  She will be having signings soon.

War Horse, Nelson--Another fact about George Washington

Do generals of today ride horses and fight with their men?  Have bullet holes in their vests?
Defy the enemy to shoot him.  Has a horse that isn't afraid of gun fire, cannon fire,
or high fences.  Has aides, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Hamilton and Mr. Billy Lee,
the best horseman in the Colonies? BUT never was wounded, he or his horse, Nelson.

Bet you didn't know this!  If you want to be the smartest person in the room about
the American Revolution, you need to read the hard cover book on Amazon,
"Why is a Spy Called a Mole," sold on Amazon.  This book took Lorraine Strieby
two years of research, lots of rewrites, and over 30 illustrations.

Historians try to hide who Mr. Bill Lee really was--not Strieby.
This book is now on Amazon, hard cover, for your young ones and you.

Thanks, Mayor Molly McMole, MMM

Geprge Washingtton Cheer Leader--He was a dog lover (50 dogs)

My name is Mayor Molly McMole and I blog for author and illustrator, Lorraine Strieby.

You are going to meet one of Washington's dogs, Madame Moose, a dalmatian,
who guarded several horses during the Revolutionary War.

The Commander Washington left behind 49 dogs when he went to war, including Sweetlips and Vulcan who had a tremendous
appetite and stole a ham from Martha's kitchen before a dinner party. Washington laughted
heartily--not so much, Martha. 

These are just facts, but we owe a lot to George Washington and his four-legged friend,
Madame Moose.  You can learn a lot from Strieby's new book, "Why is a Spy called a Mole,"
now on hard copy, Amazon and Kindle.  Spy Master Christopher McMole in the Revolutionary
War was my famous ancestor.        MMM

Alexandria Christ Church--You Wouldn't be There If It Wasn't for President George Washington

This is getting serious.  The schools don't teach about Commander and President George
Washington so people who should know better want to take down his memorials, meaning
other forefathers memorials are in trouble too.  My ancestor, spy master Christopher
McMole would be quite sad.  Ron Chernow would be sad!  Lorraine Strieby would
be sad!  Strieby is sad because she knows that ignorance of these people mean that
parents and grandparents need to see that their children and grandchildren are not
getting the education they deserve.  Parents and grandparents wake up to the fact
that even churches are trying to erase history. Please read "Washington A Life" by
Ron Chernow or "Why is a Spy Is called a Mole" by Lorraine Strieby.  Pleasse check
your Kindle or Amazon to see how great Washington, Hamilton, Mr. Billy Lee, Nelson
are.  I bet most of you don't even know who Mr. Billy Lee and Nelson were.  Sad!

Do you love George Washington? Do you wish to be the smartest person in the room when it comes to the American Revolution? Then you need to get Lorraine Strieby's new book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole? And if you love her art, you won't be disappointed. My name is Mayor Molly McMole and I blog for Lorraine Strieby. She doesn't know I do this, but we do. The eBook and soft cover is out for the public the week of October 23. This is a book for all ages. It covers my ancestor, Christopher McMole. Can you answer these questions, are you absolutely sure? What happened to Benedict Arnold? Who was Nelson? Where is the Monongahela River? Who was Mr. Billy Lee? What was the Vulture? Where were Commander Washington, Lt. Colonel Alexander Hamilton, Mr. Billy Lee, Nelson, and Madam Moose going when they were supposed to be captured? Who was Commander Cornwallis? Who was sent to France to get the 24 war ships that helped win the Revolution in Yorktown? Who was John Andre/Anderson? Author and Illustrator, Lorraine Strieby, answers these questions in her new book, WHY S A SPY CALLED A MOLE? This book will appeal to all ages. It is based on fact and is anything but BORING. You can buy this book on Amazon, Kindle starting, October 23, 2017.    You can buy book on Amazon No.--hard cover.   Welcome to my world. MMM
